apoxalypse now

day two...

if this is chicken pox, it isn't so bad. a couple of seb's bumps now sport blisters, but he's not itching, isn't in a bad humour, and all seems to be well. his back has about nine red marks, none on his face, (yet), his chest and area maybe seven. it's no big deal. seb and i walked to the  horses today and then looked at the koi fish in the nearby reservior. it was a warm day and we had a fun time and best of all, he got to burn up some energy. the whole family played at a nearby playground earlier in the day, and i am pleased to say that sebastian and carys did not cry when they were forced to get off the swings. as for sela and jasper? the diva and the baby? you draw your own conclusions.

jasper ended up in emergency today, nothing drastically wrong, but since all the drs offices are closed for chinese new year, when he started wheezing and the pulmacort, nebuliser and chamber weren't helping, we knew it was time to get him to a&e and some stronger drugs. jasper had spent a great deal of the day in my arms, i'm such an unhappy boy, and cuddling gave him some comfort. but he really perked up after he spent 30 minutes taking oxygen through a mask, even to the point where when the man next to him vomitted, jasper said to charles, "uh oh".

sela has two red bumps on her face, they have not blistered, and i am wondering if they are mossie bites. but when push comes to shove, i think we are looking at a month or so of chicken pox.

i had a great run today, i didn't time myself but i know that it was around 30 minutes. i started off with u2's beautiful day, i song i have loved for a long time. next is two dog night's "mama told me not to come" followed by slim shady, but folks, i need some other good music. my brother has a lot of my cd's, which is too bad...but i do have a $15 credit on imusic, so if anyone has any good songs to recommend, please post them here.

and that's all we have from spot central. if we ask nicely, charles might post some pictures.....

I have a lot of The Blackeyed Peas on my Pod. "Let's Get it Started" is one of my favorite walk/run. I also like Nelly. I have a ton more but don't know your taste. Let me know and I'll just cut and paste some of the exercise mixes I have used in the past.

I'm a fan of "whatchya gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk" (black eyed peas maybe?) and just for balance, "I can only imagine" by MercyMe

When I was little, even though I was exposed to chicken pox when my sister had them, I never got them until I was 22. It wasn't that bad even then. The worst of it was the terrible headache and fever I got a couple of days before the rash broke out. Yeah the rash was itchy but I havve psoriasis, so I was mostly surpised that that's what I had. No clue how I got it either. I finally got my chicken pox scar I always wanted though. I felt left out my whole life cuz I was the only kid I knew who didn't have one. Anyway, hope sebs bumps heal quickly and he gets a just one nifty scar to show off ;o)

ACDC has some music that would be good running music - and Shania Twain has some good stuff too. Just listening to her make me yearn to look like her!
